The Flames were missing the playoffs every 2nd season when they had a solid core of Gaudreau, Monahan, Tkachuk, Lindholm, Gio, Hanafin, etc so I get a good chuckle that Conroy thinks that this organization has ever had a culture of winning even when the roster was strong. The only culture the Flames have cultivated is that of mediocrity and it’s kind of laughable given the current roster that the organization is even discussing the playoffs as the current roster may be the worst in a couple of decades. I get it that employees of the organization including Conroy are not permitted to publicly ever admit to rebuilding but the current state of the roster and talent pool is going to dictate their fate regardless as they will be drafting top 5-10 for the coming years. Hopefully they can catch some lottery luck in the coming drafts as this organization deserves some good fortune.
